The Prince and the Pilgrim

Rating:
Summary: A good book and GREAT tale!
Review: Alexander travels trough many obsticals to find the pilgrim Alice, join him as he battles, escapes, and finally meets the pretty pilgrim Alice. This book has good points and bad but in the long run it was a book worth reading. I would probably recommend this book to anyone interested in the middle ages because it takes place then and has lots of information on the holy grail, caliburn, The high king Arthur and middle Aged England.

Summary: Prince
Review: Although not quite as interesting as the Merlin series, Prince and the Pilgram was entertaining and a worthwhile read.

Summary: Good
Review: I thought this was a very sweet book and I enjoyed it a lot. Am I missing something? This is the first and only book of Mary Stewart's I've read. It was very entertaining and the characters were likable and understandable. Maybe this is not a masterpiece, but I very highly recommend it as a feel-good, fun-to-read book. Especially if you don't know much about the Arthurian legends, it's pretty self-explanatory. Definitely, read it.

Summary: Well, what do I say...
Review: Is this the same woman who wrote the magnificent Merlin novels? It read like a first effort from an unskilled writer. I would have thought it to be a children's book, if it weren't for the sexual intrigues of Morgan. The characters are flat, the plot predictable. Ms. Stewart--what WERE you thinking?

Summary: irritating. a disappointment
Review: Mary Stewart who wrote one of the best Arthurian stories in her Merlin Trilogy, has highlighted the story of Alisander and Alice, who were very minor characters from the one of the oldest Arthurian legends. The story has the feel of a fairy tale and runs around the periphery of the original tale. If you are interested in Arthurian literature and want to know more about a couple barely mentioned in Malory, then I would suggest that you read this book, but don't expect the depth of other Stewart stories

Summary: Prince
Review: Stories involving King Arthur and sundry acts of chivalrous derring 'do have always entertained me, so I was heartily disappointed in Stewart's novel, a return to the world of her Merlyn trilogy. Honestly, it seems like she simply ran out of gas or out of time. The novel sets up nicely, with two different plot threads that promise an epic resolution. Instead, the two main characters miraculously meet, fall in love and save the day, all in the space of about 90 pages. You know you are in trouble when you are reading a novel about the holy grail and one of the characters scoffs that it isn't the real holy grail, all the other characters agree, and everyone moves on. Yikes! I think Merlyn is rolling over in his crystal cave.

Summary: Lack of Depth and Constant Superficialities are Irritating
Review: The heroes were superficially ideal. Alexander, the prince, is handsome, dark-haired, muscular yet slender, and his lack of intelligence is made up for by his talent with the sword. Alice, the pilgrim, is pretty, slender, and adventurous yet feminine. There are many confusing legends included in this book, taking up pages with content irrevelent to the plot. Despite the superficiality of the plot and the too-good-to-be-true characters, the book reads surprisingly fast, though the complete lack of depth is often irritating
